Sustainable Production of Functional and Safe Feed from Food Waste (NOSHAN)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

Food processing activities produce in Europe large amounts of by-products and waste. Such waste streams are only partially valorized at different value-added levels (spread on land, animal feed, composting), whereas the main volumes are managed as waste of environmental concern, with relevant negative effects on the overall sustainability of the food processing industry.The main focus of NOSHAN is ...
